Chapter 1596: Three Ups and Downs

e time, the centipede’s massive body shrank until it was back to its original size of seven or eight centimeters before being crushed into a paste with one stomp."Ah!"As soon as the natal gu worm died...After winning two games in a row, Huo Jian was no longer as calm as before.

"Grandpa, do you think that Ye kid can really win"

"How is that possible" Huo Dongping shook his head. "Even if he were incredibly powerful, he's still just a Martial Saint after all."

On the path of martial arts, all below the Imperial Realm are ants. As long as he doesn't step into the Imperial Realm, he can never be Hong Sihai's opponent and is destined to be defeated.

Now they seem to have the upper hand, but in reality, there hasn't been any substantial change. They just wait for a powerhouse from the Imperial Realm to make a move, and he will be instantly obliterated.

Ho Jian nodded and a smile appeared on his face: "Grandpa is right, now I'm relieved."

Although Situ Changkong was very dissatisfied with the conversation between the grandfather and grandson, he had to admit the facts they stated in his heart.

The higher one cultivates in martial arts, the greater the gap between each level. Between Martial Saints and Imperial Realms, there lies an insurmountable chasm.

Even if one's cultivation reaches the peak of Martial Saint, they are still only a Martial Saint. They are incomparable to powerhouses at the Emperor Realm.

Then, a brief silence fell over the room, and all eyes turned to the phone.

After a while, the phone suddenly rang. Although the sound was faint, it seemed to explode like thunder in everyone's ears.

Situ Changkong reached out and pressed the hands-free button. Unlike last time, panicked voices came from the other end this time.

"Elder, something has happened! Elder Hong Sihai personally took the field at Yunxia Mountain. Although he let Ye sir have three moves, he still couldn't break through his defenses."

"Finally, Hong Sihai unleashed a palm strike that instantly defeated Mr. Ye!"

"What do you mean What's meant by 'gone' "

Sistù Chángkōng suddenly cried out in disbelief.

"After just one move, Mr. Ye vanished without a trace. To this day, there's no sign of him, alive or dead. Some say he was completely pulverized!"

Hearing this news, Situ Changkong and An Daoquan's expressions turned gloomy. Their hearts were filled with grief and anger. They couldn't accept that such an outstanding young man had fallen like this.

They were heartbroken, but Huo Jian burst into laughter: “Hahaha, he’s dead! This kid is finally dead! I told you that someone so arrogant would die sooner or later!”

"As expected, under the Imperial Realm, all are ants. Even with his Martial Saint strength, he is still no match for an opponent of the Imperial Realm."

Ho Dongping's face also broke into a smile. "That boy should have come to kneel and surrender to this old man long ago, that way he might still be able to save his life, instead of ending up dead without even a whole body."

But he insisted on pretending to have backbone. It's fine to put on a tough act, but you need the strength to back it up.

At this point, the grandfather and grandson burst into laughter together, their laughter echoing with pure joy.

Before they could finish laughing, a sudden gasp came from the other end of the phone: "Oh my, Mr. Ye has been rescued! It turns out he was just hiding in the lake water all along. Now not only is he unharmed, but he has also broken through to the peak state of Martial Saint..."

"Uh..."

Huo Dongping and the other person were laughing halfway through when, suddenly, they froze like a chicken with its neck caught, their laughter coming to an abrupt halt.

"How is this possible How could he still be alive after a strike from a powerhouse in the Imperial Realm How could he possibly break through Did you see wrong Are your eyes playing tricks on you"

Such a huge contrast nearly drove Huo Jian's emotions to the brink of losing control. He roared frantically at the phone.

He called out for a long time, but there was no response whatsoever.

Ho Jian turned back and said, "Grandpa, I told you that kid was just talking nonsense, he must have misread it. How could this be possible"

Hu Dongping frowned slightly, "I think so too. This doesn't make sense at all. It's impossible to survive an attack from a Heavenly Realm expert and break through instead..."

It seemed that fate, like a mischievous jester, was constantly playing tricks on the grandfather and grandson. Suddenly, another wave of excited shouting came through the phone.

"Elder, he's dead! He's dead!"

Hearing him shout like that, Huo Dongping immediately felt a surge of pride: "I told you so! It's definitely dead. A mere Martial Saint wouldn't stand a chance against a Royal Realm expert..."

Before he could finish his words, the other end of the phone excitedly shouted again: "Elder Hong Sihai of Yunxiashan is dead, slain by Mr. Ye with a single sword!"

"What"

This news was truly shocking. Huo Dongping, who had been sitting and sipping tea, jumped up in surprise.

"This is impossible, absolutely impossible! Hong Sihai is a Royal Realm expert, how could he be killed by a Martial Saint"

He glared angrily at An Daoquan and the two others: “What kind of people did you arrange over there Are they lunatics Why are they just talking nonsense”

"Sī Tù Cháng Kōng also felt some disbelief and asked again, “What are you saying Did you get it wrong Did you say it wrong Who exactly died”

It was Hong Sihai who died, his head chopped off. Now Yunxia Mountain has publicly surrendered!

"Really Are you serious"

Hearing this news, Situ Changkong trembled with excitement.

"Elder, it's absolutely true! Yunxia Mountain just publicly admitted defeat. Their remaining two elders have already left. Listen to the cheers all around..."

After he finished speaking, the other side pressed the hands-free button, and then a deafening roar of cheers, interspersed with occasional curses, came through the speaker. The curses were all directed at Yunxiashan.

"My goodness, it's actually true, Xiaofan really won."

Si Tu Changkong and An Daoquan were both instantly overjoyed. Tears welled up in their aged eyes, but they weren't tears of sadness, these were tears of excitement and happiness.

This final battle was incredibly exciting, with twists and turns at every turn. Thankfully, we ultimately emerged victorious!

"Old friend, let's hurry and pick up Xiao Fan and celebrate his success! This time, our Xuan Yuan Pavilion has truly made a breakthrough!"

After that, they ignored Huo Dongping and his grandson, leaving Xuanyuan Pavilion and heading straight towards Yanbo Lake.

"This…"

The two people in the room looked at each other, their eyes wide with disbelief.

After a moment, Huo Jian's voice trembled as he asked, "Grandpa, are you serious Did that boy really kill Hong Sihai, and can he really defeat a Royal Realm expert"

He Dongping sat on the sofa with a gloomy expression. Although he was reluctant to admit it, the facts were right before his eyes, and in the end, he could only nod.

“How is this possible Could it be that the kid has been hiding his cultivation all along Could he also be a Royal Realm expert”

Huo Jian was so excited that his hands trembled. He still couldn't believe it.

He has always been incredibly arrogant, believing that entering the ranks of saints at his age was a testament to his genius.

Now, facing Ye Bufan, he was even younger than him, yet capable of slaying even Emperor Realm powerhouses. In comparison, his own cultivation base was nothing but trash.

"Grandpa, I don't believe it, this can't be true."

Huo Jian kept shouting, his eyes filled with unwillingness.

"I want you to kill him, I want you to avenge me!"

At this moment, he couldn't tell what he was feeling—envy, jealousy, hatred All he knew was that he wanted the other person dead!

"Shut up!"

Ho Dongping let out a sharp rebuke, only then did he realize how spoiled his grandson had always been, and how foolish he was.

If someone can kill even Hong Sihai, they can also hurt themselves. At this point, what's the point of calling for revenge Isn't that just looking for deatht he said a word and just given up"Damn, I could even hear his arm breaking. This guy's still toughing it out, he's really got some guts...""Tough guy! A real tough guy! I've never seen someone so tou...
